SINGAPORE — A 41-year-old man was sentenced to five years, six months and 10 weeks' jail on Wednesday (June 28) after pleading guilty to a string of offences spanning several years including the possession of illicit drugs, stalking his ex-girlfriend and causing hurt to her.
Mohammad Faizal Omar also admitted to driving while under a disqualification order, cheating by pretending to be someone else, and using criminal force on a public servant, among other offences.
When they arrived at her home, Faizal locked the car doors which prevented his ex-girlfriend from leaving. The ex-girlfriend told him that she was going back to work and could not talk to him. She ignored him and kept walking.The ex-girlfriend's colleague eventually called police. The call recorded screaming in the background. Court documents did not state if Faizal was arrested the same day.THREATS AND HARASSMENT

They also seized drug-related items that were found including tablets and a sachet of methamphetamine, also known as"ice".
When he was arrested by LTA officers, Faizal got into a scuffle with one of the officers after attempting to resist arrest and was eventually subdued and restrained after assistance was rendered from two members of the public.Despite being investigated after his arrest for each of the offences, Faizal kept offending, such as cheating a vehicle rental company into allowing him to have possession of a van without payment from Dec 18, 2019, to Jan 8, 2020.
